I'm probably the only person that saw his draft phone call footage and noticed he was the only black person in that house.And you're probably the only person who cares. Honestly, does it matter?That's an odd question to ask in this thread. It shouldn't have mattered that he was gay when talking about his football potential and draft position and yet there it was. So inside that story, in the house where cameras are focused on him because of that, someone else notices another possible non-football related issue and inquires about it. Why the flippant response?

Muggens Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yes! The Rams got him! Keep him home!Los Angeles? Just kidding. Glad he's staying close to home though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 FWIW, I don't believe Sam is adopted, but his family life growing up was not stable, and he did spend a significant amount of time living with the family/ies of his friends. That's what I recall from articles that came out a few months ago and a quick peak at Wikipedia. No idea if the people he was with today were from that family. It could have been his boyfriend's family, I suppose. No clue. Anyways, I absolutely love this pick. I'm really proud he'll be playing for the Rams, and I certainly teared up watching his reaction. It's a big moment. It really is. Aside from that, the Rams got the co-SEC Defensive Player of the Year at #249. That's pretty great. Just more depth for an already loaded front 7.

rams80 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 *Hot takes*The pick is a minimal risk/small reward situation. People remember the Rams exist for five seconds, some Missouri fans might care a little more about the Rams, and unlike the last time the Rams drafted a "hometown hero", I'm not scared he's one bad cut on the field away from living life confined to a rascal.Also the organization has transformed whiffing on late round picks into an art form, so no real loss regardless of what Sam does on the field..

BBTV Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Any chance Goodell was calling teams saying "one of you HAS to draft him, or it will look like we blackballed him since some people said he was a 3rd rounder"? could he have been forced on the Rams? Maybe the NFL brass felt that it would be easier for him to stay in-state, and flat out told the Rams to pick him in the last round if nobody else did?

I don't know the stats for the last pick and how often they make the roster, but it's certainly not an "irrelevant" selection.But yeah - that definitely would have made it look like a "mercy" or "token" selection.
